What is DISC?

Personality profiling that's quick, simple and effective

DISC assessment gives you the power to quickly and easily create and explore personality profiles for all your people.

There's a major advantage in having a clear understanding of the people around you, and personality profiling can give you that advantage. Whether you're hiring, leading, team building, dealing with sales - in fact, however you need to work with other people - having an objective and comprehensive insight into different personalities can give you a real edge.

DISC is one of the most widely used personality profile systems in the world today. It's easy to use, with quick and simple personality questionnaires, but its results can give you all the information you might need, looking in detail at topics that are directly relevant to you.

There are lots of personality profiling solutions around, but the DISC approach has some real advantages: it's quick to use, simple to administrate, and it gives really powerful and useful results. DISC has been in development for decades, and is now one of the best established profiling tools around, and there's plenty of research showing how effective it can be. What's more, DISC can be amazingly cost-effective, at a price point that makes it possible to create profiles whenever you need them.

What Does DISC Stand For?

A DISC profile is created from the answers to a simple and straightforward questionnaire. Those answers are interpreted to measure four core personality factors: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance, whose initials give DISC its name. It's from assessing the combinations of those four personality factors that DISC can give you real insights into a personality.

That's just a simple overview of the DISC profiling process. If you want to find out more, visit our How DISC Works page, where you'll find plenty more detailed information.
